I, Me, Modern Muslim

Modernity is a great disease, inflicting some of Muslims too.
Allah (SWT) created us to Worship Him.
He (SWT) created the world to facilitate the same.
This is as true today as it was at the time of creation of the World and it will be as true on the Last Day.
So the question arises as to what is modernity and what is its place.
Answer is simple - if you want to use modern technology then mostly there is no problem.
The problem arises when you try to modernize Islam.
Or when you try to modernize your attitude towards Islam - it amounts to effective subversion.
Muslims are not fooled by this.
Western detractors of Islam might be gratified by that but so what?
Should a Muslim try to please the detractors of Islam or Allah (SWT).
